Our Commitment to Data Protection

Rustic-verse is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements and what rights you have regarding your personal information.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: When you provide explicit consent for us to process your information for specific purposes
• Contractual Necessity: When processing is necessary to fulfill our obligations under a contract with you
• Legitimate Interest: When we have a legitimate business interest that does not override your rights and freedoms
• Legal Obligation: When we must process data to comply with legal requirements

Your Rights Under GDPR

Right to Access

You have the right to request confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data and to access that data. We will provide you with a copy of your personal information in a commonly used electronic format.

Right to Rectification

If your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction or completion of that data.

Right to Erasure

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. This right applies when:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

International Data Transfers

Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.
